I am Md Mahbub Alam, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Dalhousie University, Canada, where my research focuses on machine learning for the spatio-temporal analysis of big data. Before that, I obtained an M.Sc. (Computer Science) from the University of New Brunswick, Canada and a B.Sc. (Computer Science and Engineering) from the Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Bangladesh. During my master's, I also worked with big data systems for processing spatial data.
